Solar flood lights are powerful and versatile solar lighting systems. They are suitable for set-up in a variety of places and are perfect for both commercial and residential applications where punctual illumination is needed. For accent lighting, they can be used to produce light efficiently on a particular location or object in your landscape. For security lighting they will efficiently create a perimeter protection. A well lighted property generally turns-off most intruders.

Solar sign lights and billboard lighting can also benefit from this technology

Lighting advertising billboards with solar energy is a new trend that is developing very fast. Solar powered flood lights can also be practical for monument or statue illumination or as solar lights for flag poles. As you can see solar flood lights are multi-purpose and many other lighting applications are possible, as they can cover any kind of outdoor lighting projects. In certain cases they can also be set-up for indoor lighting purpose, but of course the solar panel must be fixed outside the house.

Most solar flood lights are equipped with a photo-cell. This electronic device also called photoresistor works as an automatic switch controlled by the change of luminosity. At night the photocell switches-on the light and at the first ray of sunshine it turns it off. On a solar security light, instead of the photocell you’ll find a motion detector which triggers the light when any movement is perceived. This is why this type of lights are called motion sensor lights.

Lighting is produced by halogen bulbs or LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes). (LEDs are these tiny coloured lights that you can find on most electronic devices). They are commonly utilized in solar lighting, because they don’t use much power and they are extremely durable. To produce strong and adequate lighting, tens or hundreds of LEDs are connected together. The array of LEDs generates illumination at a fraction of the running cost of ordinary light bulbs.

Solar flood lights are equipped with a solar panel that can be installed away for allowing maximum sun exposure

The small solar panel converts the energy from the sun into DC electricity to charge a battery that will provide power to the light all night long. In general, 6 or 12 volts sealed batteries are used to provide adequate power to the light. When well charged, the lights can work all night long without any problem. There is no need to change the batteries very often, as they can last for two or three years.

Electric flood lights are known to use much more energy than ordinary light bulbs; consequently using solar energy for outdoor lighting can be a wise decision and a good investment. An additional benefit of using solar lights is their ease of installation. They can be fitted in minutes. No need to dig-up to run electric cables and no electrician or work permit, as no electricity is required.Solar flood lights are safe, because they run on low DC power; there is no risks of electrocution. Solar lights are not gadgets anymore; even professionals are using them for all kind of lighting applications.
